Spheres in a Space with Trillions of Dimensions
I don't venture into speculative science writing - this is just about classical statistical mechanics; actually about a special mathematical aspect. It was one of the things I found particularly intriguing in my first encounters with statistical mechanics and thermodynamics a long time ago - a curious feature of volumes. I was mulling upon how to 'briefly motivate' the calculation below in a comprehensible way, a task I might have failed at years ago already, when I tried to use […]https://elkement.art/2017/06/17/spheres-in-a-space-with-trillions-of-dimensions/
